The graph below shows the distance traveled by a car over time.
1. Describe the motion of the car during the first 5 seconds.
2. What is the speed of the car between 5 and 10 seconds?
3. During which time interval(s) was the car stationary?
4. A horizontal line on a distance-time graph indicates:
Constant speed
Increasing speed
No motion
Decreasing speed
5. The slope of a distance-time graph represents:
Acceleration
Speed
Distance
Time
6. A steeper line on a distance-time graph indicates a speed.
7. If a distance-time graph shows a curved line, it means the object is .
8. A car traveling at a constant speed will have a horizontal line on a distance-time graph.
True
False
9. A distance-time graph can show an object moving backward in time.
True
False
10. Draw a distance-time graph for a person who walks 10 meters in 5 seconds, then stops for 5 seconds, and then walks another 15 meters in 5 seconds.
11. Calculate the average speed of the person described in question 10 over the entire journey.
